After completing this course, I am still planning on continuing on this career path. It has been very nice to be able to spend time in classroom and see what teaching entails on a daily basis. Previously, I have spent quite a bit of time in the classroom as a helper in my children's classes. I was pretty sure that this was the path that I wanted to follow. Those experiences have been very positive. Adding the experience that I have had throughout this course has only solidified my desire to become a teacher. I am looking forward to being a part of the professional teaching program here at UVU.
There were a few surprises that I learned through this course. I think that there is a big misconception that teachers have it easy because they get their summers off. I am pretty sure that they more than make up for the summer months that they do not work during the other 9 months that they are working.
My next steps are to finish up all my general ed classes so that I can hopefully apply to the program this coming fall semester...to start next Spring semester. I am hoping that I will be able to go the internship route instead of the student teaching in the professional program.
After completing the program, I am hoping to teach in Kindergarten. I currently work in a preschool and really enjoy working with this age group of children.
